A Love for Spring

I think we should all give ourselves around of applause for surviving winter; I mean not that the rain and wild winds are going to be leaving anytime soon - honestly I think with the amount of storms we've had over the last six months, we'll be at Storm Z before we know it. Although, we aren't out of the wild and wet weather yet, we are one step closer to blue skies, Spring walks and plenty of pastel colours. We may just have to be patient a little while longer. 

Anyway, I know we have an official first day of Spring (which just so happened to be last Sunday) but I don't consider it Spring until I've seen Cherry Blossom blowing in wind and more fresh flowers in stores than ever before. Only then is it officially Spring for me. So, whilst we wait ever so patiently for the Storms to pass over and the blue skies to appear; here are a few reasons why I have a love for Spring: 

• Fresh Flowers. Carnations. Daffodils. Tulips. Peony. 
• Pastel Nail Varnishes. 
• Being able to walk around with a light jacket, instead of a heavy coat on. 
• Fresh Air. 
• Animal off-spring. 
• Birds chirping. 
• Cherry Blossom on the trees. 
• The promise of summer. 
• Spring cleaning. 
• Evening strolls. 
• Easter. Bunnies. Chocolate. And a four-day weekend.
• Open windows. 
• Garden parties. 
• Floral fashion. 
• Beautiful scenery. Everything becomes so Instagram-friendly. 
• Driving back and forth from work in daylight. 
• More productive feeling. 
• Hibernation ends. I'm talking about animals not people (even though we all still struggle to get out of bed, no matter what time of the year it is)
• Iced Beverages. For anyone who doesn't know seeing me without an Iced Latte in Spring, is like seeing Winnie the Pooh without a jar of honey - it just doesn't happen. 
• Daisy chains. 
• Smoothies. Berries. Mango. Passionfruit. 
• Sunglasses. 

Until the next seasonal change, which just so happens to summer, Au Revoir! 

Love,

Lauren xo
